Many people across the political spectrum were alarmed when they learned administrators at Texas A&M had prevented a philosophy professor from teaching the works of Plato because it violated legislative regulations designed to eliminate “woke” curricula in the state’s institutions of higher learning. Many conservatives, while generally sympathetic to efforts to eliminate left-wing indoctrination in college and university curricula, agree that legislative interventions of this kind can blur lines between reasonable guidelines designed to eliminate indoctrination and outright censorship.  This episode, and some others like it, suggest that recent attempts by conservatives to push back on academic indoctrination have not been as well-thought-out as some may have hoped.
